Government Mediation Voucher Scheme

28/03/2023

 

The Government have extended the mediation voucher scheme until 2025 .During the last 2 years Essexmediationonline.co.uk and Londonmediationonline.co.uk have applied on behalf of our clients for hundreds of vouchers that help couples pay for the cost of mediation where children are involved. We are a big supporters of this scheme. It pays £500 towards the cost of mediation ( not the MIAM or document fees) and will in most cases covers the cost of two meetings. The voucher are valued for 4 months which allows couple to have one meeting , see how the agreements they have agreed are working and  then arrange a second meeting if necessary, to fine tune the arrangements. We have found that 2 meeting give the couples more time to work matters out for their children.
